Metro to strengthen RFK transit with upgrades and a dedicated Gold Line bus, no new station planned.
TL;DR Summary
Metro’s plan for the RFK redevelopment relies on upgrading the Stadium-Armory station (larger entrances, more escalators/elevators, expanded space) and adding crowd-management measures, plus a new Gold Line bus rapid transit with dedicated lanes to Union Station. A separate new Metro station was deemed too costly and time-consuming, so buses and improved existing infrastructure are the focus to handle tens of thousands of eventgoers.
